Torque is a good idea.

to the best of my logic, i dont think it really matters as long as its tight enough. if you think about it, if you get a flat and need to put on a spare, you usually dont have a torque wrench to measure how many pounds to tighten. i think u just have to tighten as much as you can. someone correct me if im wrong.

Of course in times of emergency, unless you have one handy, try to make the lugs tight (not standing on the lug wrench tight!) and uniform in tightness.

impact wrench safe??
Can an impact wrench in a garage be safely set to cut off at a particular torque? I have frequently asked garages to hand torque my wheels on my other car and they look at me as if this is the strangest thing they have ever heard.
My Nissan mechanic uses a small impact wrench to snug up the bolts and then finishes them off with a torque wrench. I'd prefer hand tightening the entire way but I guess time is money.

Re: Torque wrench, torque stick
Daniel:
Other than Harbor Freight, which you have mentioned in the past, who else sells quality torque wrenches? I have not been particularly satisfied with Harbor Freight socket wrench sets I have purchased from them in the past. I have had to send several Taiwan built wrenches back to them for warranty replacement. I like Craftsman since I think they have reasonable quality to dollar ratio but I'm not sure how good their torque wrenches are these days. It seems many garages like Snap-On but one has to find a Snap-On dealer. I'd like to find a torque wrenche suitable for tighening our wheels that is available at local tool stores or over the internet.
Thanks

IMHO Craftsman tools provide good value. Many of my own tools are Craftsman.
Snap-on tools have superb quality but high prices. You don't need to find their tool truck, it is now possible to buy Snap-on from their Web site. Go to http://www.snapon.com/

You're an encyclopedia of website links.
I've just returned from the snapon site and they have some very nice torque wrenches. I was, however, disappointed to learn that, like Craftsman, they only warranty the wrenches for no more than one year (depending on the model). This forces me to now look at the Craftsman wrenches again since I know that they are much more affordable.
